If approved and <br />constructed, four acres of the original ten acres zoned will remain available for <br />development, at a density of up to 40 dwelling units per acre, with a capacity of 160 <br />units. This future development is in addition to any housing units allowed in the 6th Cycle <br />Housing Element. <br />Framework Process to Date <br />The City Council authorized work to develop the Stoneridge Mall Framework in August <br />2022, with the goal of establishing planning guidance for the mall properties in light of <br />the site’s inclusion in the 6th Cycle Housing Element. <br />A professional services team including Van Meter Williams Pollack (VMWP), Economic <br />and Planning Systems (EPS) and Fehr & Peers was engaged to assist with <br />development of the Framework, and ensure planning concepts were developed based <br />on appropriate urban design principles, consideration of financial and fiscal feasibility, <br />and an understanding of potential traffic impacts and constraints. <br />The process included a number of touchpoints with the City Council and Planning <br />Commission, as well as community workshops to receive input on the framework as it <br />was developed. Key meetings held include: <br />• August 16, 2022 City Council Meeting – Scoping and Key Planning <br />Considerations <br />• September 26, 2022 – Joint Community and Planning Commission Meeting: <br />Issues, Opportunities and Constraints <br />• December 8, 2022 – Community Meeting: Framework Options <br />• December 15, 2022 – Joint Planning Commission and City Council Meeting: <br />Framework Options <br />• January 11, 2023 – Planning Commission: Framework Components – <br />Recommendation for Adoption <br />• January 26, 2023 – City Council Framework Components Adoption <br />Additional information and summaries or minutes from each of these meetings can be <br />found on the project website: Stoneridgemallframework.com. <br /> <br />1 The project is proposed at a density of 60 du/acre, which includes a base density of 40 du/acre plus a <br />50 percent density bonus as allowed under state law.
